In traditional textiles there is a Not only for the observers of Batak Culture society, the symbolic space that requires interpretation to be able to process debate surrounding the use of Ulos as a fashion material, still elements existing on the custom fabric in order to link between raises a different opinion among the designers who raised the past and present traditions. Therefore, the interpretation of cloth as the idea in the work. There are opinions allowing the Ulos as a textile used as fashion textile requires an in-depth direct use of traditional textiles by combining them with other study to be presented as a new form and a part of contemporary materials.

Revised: April 23, 2018. Accepted: June 10, 2018 Abstract The aim of this study is to describe traditional art capitalization as the cultural identity of a so- ciety and a strategy of the society which supports traditional art in developing cultural comodi- fication in line with the demands of the tourism industry. The paper is based on field research presenting a case study of the existence of Kubrosiswo traditional art from Magelang Regency, Central Java, Indonesia which develops the cultural comodification as a strategy to respond to the economic capitalization demands, especially the emergence of the tourism industry which appeared in this globalization era. One alternative strategy which is developed in this research is by making a documentary film. The documentary film is one of the strategies to present the real- ity based on the description in the field, and it is also expected to create awareness in recognizing and comprehending the knowledge of Kubrosiswo traditional art.

Where culture and religion are fused, the traditional costume serves one of the most functions in rituals in Bali. This research aims to analyze the charac- teristics of Balinese costumes by focusing on the Legong dance costume. Quantitative re- search was performed using 332 images of Indonesian costumes and 210 images of Balinese ceremonial costumes. Qualitative research was performed by doing field research in Puri Saba, Gianyar and SMKN 3 SUKAWATI(Traditional Art Middle School). The paper illus- trates the influence and structure of Indonesian traditional costume. As the result, focusing on the upper wear costume showed that the ancient era costumes were influenced by animism. They consist of tube(kemben), shawl(syal), corset, dress(terusan), body painting and tattoo, jewelry(perhiasan), and cross. The Modern era, which was shaped by religion, consists of baju kurung(tunic) and kebaya(kaftan). The Balinese costume consists of the costume of participants and the costume of performers.

    UGM Digital Press Proceeding of ASIC 2018 2 Social Sciences and Humanities (2018) : 77-81 American Studies International Conference (ASIC) 2018 Cultural Hegemony: White Gown vs Traditional Dress Lisa Okta Wulandari American Studies Master’s Programme. Faculty of Cultural Sciences, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Indonesia e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Traditional dress defines a local identity of a culture, place, tribe, or race. Nowadays, traditional dresses are only worn on some ceremonies such as wedding ceremony and even so, many people do not wear any kind of traditional attire in attending a wedding. Instead, they use the modern one. In this era, women are familiar with the white gown for the wedding. Instead of wearing the traditional dress, they rather choose a white gown for some reasons such as the needs, the condition, efficiency, or interest. However, besides those personal reasons, there are also external factors such as economy, social, and even politics. These all factors happen in one process called globalization. They are connected through the process of globalization. In this process, those factors influence the local identity, which in this case is a traditional dress, in engaged with a white gown. Also, it can be identified whether the traditional dress can survive, or it is replaced by a white gown and Keywordswhat condition in globalization makes traditional dress survive or not.

The symmetries in the motifs and the transformations concepts embedded in the pattern of two pieces of sampin songket were studied by utilizing the mathematical software GeoGebra. Based on the symmetries and transformations identified, the songket patterns could be categorized under the symmetry groups standardized by the Union of Crystallography namely the Frieze Pattern and the Wallpaper Pattern. The identified symmetries and transformations concepts were then used to generate new songket patterns, patterns with better symmetry, precise and accurate thread counts. For majority of students, mathematics is considered as a difficult and uninteresting subject, hence the idea of integrating mathematics, arts and one’s culture such as the songket patterns creation activity could act as a catalyst in students’ understanding of some mathematical concepts. It could help teachers to integrate concrete, abstracts ideas and creative elements in the classroom. This might make learning mathematics more interesting. © 2016 The Authors.

    International Journal of Innovative Computing, Information and Control ICIC International ⃝c 2021 ISSN 1349-4198 Volume 17, Number 3, June 2021 pp. 753{766 ULOS FABRIC CLASSIFICATION USING ANDROID-BASED CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL NETWORK Arif Fadly Siregar and Tuga Mauritsius Information System Management Department, BINUS Graduate Program Bina Nusantara University JL. K. H. Syahdan No. 9, Kemanggisan, Palmerah, Jakarta 11480, Indonesia [email protected]; [email protected] Received November 2020; revised March 2021 Abstract. Indonesia is a country with diverse ethnic, religious, and cultural back- grounds. Among the tribes in Indonesia, one of them is the Batak tribe. The Batak tribe has a variety of cultures, one of which is ulos fabric. Every ulos fabric has meaning, and its patterns also have different meanings. However, in today's world, ulos fabric has be- gun to be forgotten. Many of ulos models and types are circulating, yet people can barely recognize them and sometimes they even do not know that it is a ulos fabric pattern. So to preserve the culture of this ulos fabric, we tried to classify the ulos fabric using the convolutional neural network method. We selected Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) because it shows better results in image recognition in recent years. We get the accuracy of around 87.27% in different factors. The model is then deployed to Application Program- ming Interface (API) to be used in android application that can predict the ulos fabric. The aim of the application and research is to help the people to recognize the ulos fabric pattern by taking pictures of it and then they will get information about the function of the ulos fabrics and its history that lies behind it.
